I looked at each of you and my heart was lost and my joy was found. Speaking from experience, my oldest descendant is 42 and I still haven't fallen out of love with a one of you.<BR/>One of my favorite pictures of you and Maya is the one I took when she was 15 months old and we were in Safeway and she threw her arms around your neck and planted such a smackeroo on your cheek! I have had it on my office wall, the parent/child wall. Also on that wall, and one of my favorites of Ted and Maya is from that same visit and she is in her high chair and he is beside her and they are laughing and the laugh is identical and the postural mirroring just sings out that they are totally in tune with each other. (Other pictures on that wall: the mother giraffe kissing her baby on the head, a polar bear cub climbing on its mothers back, a Yup'ik mother with child peeking out of the hood of her parka, a Navaho mother with child in cradle board, wolf parent with cubs.)<BR/>I had to wait a while to have this grandchild, but the wait was so worth it. She is such a treasure.

She's so fortunate to have such cool parents who teach her not only in life, but Monty Python as well!

Maya is blessed to have a mother who delights in her the way that you do. My mom always seemed to enjoy my sister and I at every stage and age. Even though we live in separate states, we are still very close, and thanks to unlimited cell phone minutes, we still talk nearly every day and visit often!!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19251412.post-1143652672702267642006-03-29T09:17:00.000-08:002006-03-29T09:17:00.000-08:00Absolutely beautiful child and what a lovely tribu...Absolutely beautiful child and what a lovely tribute to your daughter...Happy Birthday Maya!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19251412.post-1143652393491930072006-03-29T09:13:00.000-08:002006-03-29T09:13:00.000-08:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYA!I heard Ted on the radio this ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYA!<BR/><BR/>I heard Ted on the radio this morning wishing her a Happy Birthday and Carolyn was saying what a great father Ted was to put together that slide show.
